It works great but it tells windows its had a speaker when it does not have one which is annoying
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Brand response from J5create Team

In the case where the JCD381 is detecting as a speaker, this may be because the audio output needs to be adjusted correctly within the playback settings (HDMI provides both video and audio thus potentially being the root of the problem here). If you wish, technical support can be obtained by contacting support on the casing and a representative will be more than happy to further assist in properly getting your JCD381 working correctly. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. Respectfully, j5create

USB Docking

This is a excellent USB Docking port replicator. The ability to display on 2 different HDMI monitors is a feature not commonly found in a docking station for a laptop. The ability to extent the ldesktop screen is valuable tool, the added wired network connect is excellent for gaming. The Standard USB port work at the speed of a USB-C port.

Supports mirror or expand mode on additional displays. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 provides up to 5 Gbps transfer rates,

This device works but two things I note.
1. I did not read the box description close enough. The device only supports 1 x 4K the second HDMI is limited.
2. When in use with a single screen at 4K I see slowness in teams
Device otherwise functions well
I would recommend this to a friend
Brand response from J5create Team

Easily add a 4K or two 2K displays via HDMI. We recommend that you disable a feature regarded as "hardware acceleration" within the affected programs. Hardware acceleration is a setting that will attempt to place a workload onto the hardware of the computer to help with the processing of specific applications. The effects of hardware acceleration may cause for applications to become moderately sluggish, graphically distorted, or completely unresponsive.

Proper functionality entails downloading and installing a driver on a Mac platform. Depending on the OS you have, different instructions apply.
